Your fault | a Mattheo riddle story

Chapter 1

Elizabeths POV:

i woke up with the sun shining on my face, i  am too tired to be able to get up,  it was two days till schools started again. 

My sister was having a sleepover at her friends house. I was staying at home, i've never really made friends with anyone around this neighbourhood, except Eva Nathan who is coming over for tea in a couple hours, she has been my only friend since i moved to scotland and im grateful for her accepting me. 

I met her over my first summer here, she soon found out all about me being a witch but still wanted to be my friend. i miss her every day, i dont get to see her unless its a holiday because i go to hogwarts and she is a muggle, so she goes to gryffe high school. she is the only person outside of my family that knows about me and my sister. 

I used to dread going to school but its alright now, you see i got sorted into slytherin, the house of draco malfoy, draco malfoy used to bully me for being a mudblood and told me that i dont belong in slytherin as that house is only for purebloods. but its alright im friends with Blaise Zabini who got draco to apologise to me last year and we have actually grown close and are great friends now. 

LATER

I was sat in my room with Eva when my mum called us down for her famous sunday dinner, its not actually famous its just everyone in our family loves it. Eva loves it because she gets to have yorkshire puddings with it, im guessing its not very scottish to have yorkshire puddings with sunday dinner. 

It tasted just as perfect as every sunday, my mum told me to go pack my bags for school once we finished dinner. Eva joined me as she is very interested in it all, especcially potions but then again it is quite understandable as she is muggle whose best friend is a witch. One of the best Hogwarts actually, im in rivalry with Hermione for the role of the smartest student in our year, if not in the school. 

She was sat on my bed skimming over all the topics we would be learning this year,

"i want you to write to me every day, oh and dont forget to tell me every single detail about your potions class." she tells me as she throws the book to me. She started fidgeting, when this girl starts fidgeting its her way of saying she is bored, so i told her she can pick out some of my weekend outfits if she wants. 

I realised that was a big mistake, she has no fashion sense so im going to have to go over all her choices when packing them. Just as she was choosing her last outfit her mum knocked on the door, she was coming to collect her as eva isnt trusted after what happened last time. 

I said my goodbyes and once she was gone i headed to my room to choose better clothes, i picked some clothes for parties and some casual wear. 

i was so tired after a whole day of going through my stuff, having my best friend over and then having to deal with her fashion sense,  i ended up going straight to bed.

FIRST DAY BACK

As we got to the train staion, yes we travel all this way just to catch a train all the way back up to scotland just for school. stupid? I know. I look around for my friends and see tehm just about to get into a carriage so i say goodbye and rush over, climb on and find them all sat in the same compartment as every year. 

As i sat down, i heard my name being shouted from across the carriage, im currently satbwith my hufflepuff and gryffindor friends, i look to my right and see my friend group frmo slythrin calling me over but i shake my head, i only just sat down, im not fucking getting back up again. 

I get a book out, shadow jumper, my all time favourite. Hermione doesnt understand why i love it so much, but thats because she doesnt know, i can relate to the main character becuase, yes he may be allergic to the sun but i act allergic, i hate the sun with a passion and so i prefer the night and that is how i explore the world. i jump from rooftop to rooftop to go around the villiage and see my world the way i like it, dark. 

Seeing im not budging, blaise and the others come over and squash into the one compartment but not telling the gryffindors and hufflepuff to leave. I can almost feel draco rolling his eyes when he realises where blaise is going. 

"Do you always have your head in a book?" Draco asks with a hint of sarcasm in his tone of voice. 

"yes actually" i relpy as i look up towards him at give him a fake smile.

A/N: hey guys so 1i know not many people will read this like at all. im really sorry if i does not make any sense, this is my first ever book to write and have the confidence to publish, this is a big step for me as i have social anxiety. i am writing this like just before i post this so it may not make too much sense but im grateful for any advice or support with this book. If you want an idea of what Gryffe High School looks like just search it up as it does exist and Eva is a real person, she is infact my best friend/ girlfriend in real life so i have asked for permission to use her in the story (its true her fashion sense is literal dog shit) she lives in bridge of weir and i live in Houston so if you need more inspiration search those up. Also im not sure if i want to do long chapters or lots of short ones. Let me know what you think in the comments section, because i will check that probs weekly.
